   My bandsaw book's not here right now, but I know I've seen plans for home-made duplicators in the books.  They looked pretty simple.  Maybe you could stop by a Barnes & Noble or other big bookstore and take a look.

   Thanks for the reference.  Any particular author?

   Hi Doug, sorry I'm so late -- been working on taxes, grrrrr.

   Duginske, Bird, De Cristoforo for examples.

   I have a great book here by De Cristoforo that has darn near all the power tools in it, and there's an illustration.  I'll try to scan it and post.  Wish me luck -- the book's so thick, it's going to be a challenge to get the drawing flat!

   OK, drawing is below, but also:  if the pieces are thin pieces you could stack and cut bunches at a time, then if they need to be spiffed up to be perfect, use a router and pattern bit.

   OK, here's De Cristoforo's version.  It's the simplest of the one's I've seen.  From Complete Book of Power Tools, which is a compilation of two of his other books.

   I belive Iturra sells one as well - seem to remember it was around $25 - looks like it would work well.

   Thanks Scott.  I contact them to see if the unit will work with my model.  I spend 3 great years as a teenager in Newfoundland in the mid 50's.  Hard but beautiful land.

   Silly me, I should have thought of Iturra.  Yes, the have one, pg. 78, $20.  They cite models for Delta and Jet.

   I'm gonna lose my title of Catalog Queen if I make another mistake like that, LOL!!
